Soviet leaders debated aiding Romney by inviting Michigan Governor George Romney to meet Premier Kosygin in Moscow. Romney met with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin after slipping into the Soviet Embassy, aiming to project foreign affairs savvy while the Kremlin weighs how much to court a presidential candidate. The Kremlin worries a too warm reception could backfire, leaving Romney exposed to charges of appeasement and softness on Vietnam.
